Late Late Show ( 18th September)

The Prophet

Richard Dawking.

I'm surprised that RTE would let this scientician on the Late Late Show. God help us, some people may be easily impressed by big words and fooled by a peculiar voice. Not me!

I wish he would 'relatively' disappear up his cosmic 'black hole' and take his message of 'evolutionary' intolerance with him!

I don't know how Tubridy is going to handle the interview if he has to wait for Dawking to slowly key in his responses. It's going to be car crash television!

I can only hope that some of the intelligent studio audience gets a chance to interrogate this charlatan. To show Dawkings what real common sense in Ireland is!

Does sound like it'll be an awesome show tho.

If you mix essence of Hawking and Dawkings but get it wrong

The Prophet

Okay, so I thought Dawking was still disabled. I saw pictures of him only a few years ago and he was shriveled and confined to a talking wheelchair! Can you believe that?! Surely the work of the divil himself.

Now he finds himself healed and healthy today. Is that evolution? Of course not - that's utter pie-in-the-sky stuff. It is, however, proof that God is a merciful force in the world, even to prodigal little satans like Dawking.

Crotchety

One of them Nolan dolls is on as well.

Richard Dawkins is a respected evolutionary Biologist.
Stephen Hawking is a respected physicist.

Neither are a charlatan or intolerant.

THEY ARE TWO DIFFERENT PEOPLE!
That like confusing the Pope with a Nazi.

If Tubridy actually had Professor Hawking on his show it would make a lot better television that the long stream of twats that are usually peddled out.
At least Dawkins will have something intelligent to say.

Haha. This is getting even funnier.

Top suff op, best laugh I've had all day - still not sure whether I'm laughing with you or at you though.

I don't know what you're trying to say, but the implication seems to be that some kind of ungodly (and faulty) cloning was involved. Two guys? Why have I never seen them in the same photo? It doesn't add up.

Either way, he (or them) are hellspawn on earth, and I don't pay my licence fee for this sort of thing to be paraded on our national television station. It's immoral and insulting.

Ah now, stop pretending like you purposely got the two mixed up. Sit down and take your slagging like a man.

You know...sometimes you could, I don't know, go for a walk or read a book or something to pass the time...

Maaa!

Oh please, please let the Prophet be going to see Dawkins tonight at the RDS where his barking mad ideas will be eviserated by the superior intelligence of the Prof.

7:30 PM in the Concert Hall: that's Hall 7 in this venue map, bottom right hand corner where Anglesea Road meets Merrion Road.

See you there, Prophet. Should be fun

I'm still wondering what a scientician is? (nevermind having a good laugh at OP).

The pope was a member of Hitler Youth, but most of his generation were.

The Prophet

I just hope that whichever Nolan is appearing (most likely Colleen), that she gives us a few bars AFTER the evolution propaganda meister is on, in order to CHEER US UP.

I really think music went to pot after the Nolans fell off the hit parade. A right shame, as 'Dragonfly' was a lovely 7" with quite a progressive use of synths. They were overlooked innovators really.

I think you'll be disappointed. The Nolans are crypto-Darwinists from a long way back. What is "Don't it make my brown eyes blue?" but a disguised ode to the possibility of gradual physical transformation within a species?

I believe the working title was "Don't it make my rudimentary thumb-stump opposable?"

The Prophet

Yerrra cop on. That is just NOT true.

Brilliant! I can't wait!

DarkJager

The man who always seems to pinch a nerve with the christians and their faulty story. Should be an interesting watch!

It's nothing to smile about, let me tell you.

I'm NOT implying that he's Satan HIMSELF, but by the way he denies our Lord's majesty, he is surely hitching a ride with the Darkside for sure!

That mightn't be so bad, but he's corrupting OTHER souls down along into the darkness for sure. And RTE giving him the platform to do so is, well, I can't find the words. Horrendous.

Welcome to modern ireland buddy, where nobody has to suffer under the church any longer and people are free to believe what they want. Its about time somebody with sense got airtime on RTE.

Meh, I'd love to see Dawking but I'll not watch any show presented by Ryan Tubridy trying to peddle his Illuminati ways...

Why? Because hardly anyone in Ireland has any morals today? And then people are surprised when someone tells it like it is.

Why can't people have morals without religion?

You mustn't be too sure of your own if you believe they rely on divinity

Driver 8

No, because otherwise you sound like a lunatic. Nevermind all the "evolution is evil" nonsense, the fact that you can't even differentiate between Richard Dawkins and Steven Hawking is evidence that you're not playing chess with a full set.

People do have morals, just probably not to the pious standard of yours. And who's telling it as it is? Your posts are reminiscent of something from the 1950's.

Progress in not always a good thing. Only in CERTAIN areas. I'm trying to find a Mary Kenny article on this very topic at the moment. I'll see if I can post it.

Any progression out of the grip of a church stuck in the dark ages is a good thing. People have free will to do what they like. You might not agree with what they do, but they probably have similar views on you.

I presume Colleen will be on show. She has now made a sex tape. Something for Ryan to get up on.

I trust the studio audience will be more discrete than here. They're a different kettle compared to young under 35s on web fora.

Wisdom and Maturity. And a sense to see through science gone berzerk.

Yeah, what with their facts and provable theories......

Oh please stop. Wisdom and Maturity to you is believing a fairy tale from the dark ages??? Don't make me laugh.

I have more wisdom and maturity in my left nut than anybody who buys in to religions.

We'll see tomorrow night. I hope Tubridy GRILLS him on these science theories. Just THEORIES, mind you!

Times are changing. People are actively leaving the church... it's reign of rule over peoples lives is diminishing

If you really think that those people are without wisdom then you have your head buried in the sand buddy

I love it when the old "JUST a theory" phrase comes out. Perhaps you should learn what the word theory means in a scientific context.

This is very obviously a wind up.

Cuh. 'Hot' on the heels of 2006's God Delusion book. RTE... always a follower, never a leader.



Does anyone expect Finucane to actually strongly press people to explain their religion-backed bigotries? No. They'll get plenty of snaking wiggle room to just equivocate and distract. These programmes will most likely be poorly chaired. (Hope I'm wrong, though.)


Get Dawkins himself to put the questions out, no guff:

I'd post a smiley icon too if I thought this was a casual matter. I don't have the bl**dy strength, and most of these replies are disheartening to say the least.

Driver 8

Yep, we're all going to hell.

The Prophet

Shucks My Name Is URL, you got me.


Thanks for playing along everyone! You've been a wonderful audience. If you were fooled, nothing lost. If you saw through it early, give yourselves a round of applause!

Driver 8

But....but....who will stand up to the evil scientists now!??:p
